WinRAR is a shareware file archiver and data compression utility developed by Eugene Roshal. It is arguably one of the three main file archive programs for Windows, along with WinZip and 7-Zip. It is one of the few applications that is able to create RAR archives natively, as the encoding method is held to be proprietary. WinRAR supports the following features:

• - Complete support for RAR and ZIP archives, and unpacking of ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7z and Z archives. Future versions of WinRAR are planned to include 7z creation.
• - The ability to create self-extracting and multi-volume (split) archives.
• - Data redundancy is provided via recovery records and recovery volumes, even allowing reconstruction of damaged archives.
• - Support for advanced NTFS file system options and Unicode in file names.
• - Optional archive encryption using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) with a 128-bit key.
